I also check the forums daily and have noticed a drop in the level of activity. I also believe there is less news on FSNews.com and there are fewer updates or new uploads on Fligthsim.to.
In general, it feels like the rate of discussion generating change – good or bad – has diminished. There are no big updates or releases like the Fenix or first PMDG 737 on the near horizon.
I hope it is a temporary.
